This must be the reason why Roc was clearing out his office, to make room for the return of Giovanine!!  :D :D

Really nice guy, he seemed like a guy I could have been real friends with.  Just wasn't cut out for D1 NCAA tournament style programs.  Doesn't make him a bad coach.  If the goal was to have a 1st class guy as coach, running a clean and respectable program with really good kids (come on, have we had any kid that was more admirable than Matt Sunblad in the last 30 years), and maybe make the tournament once every ten years or so, then Grey is the man.  Once again, he wasn't a bad coach, and maybe his way is the best way for most college kids (except those with NBA aspirations) at the end of the day.  I think LU's fan base opts for someone who can get you to the tournament pretty consistent and make some noise there. JMHO!

Newell sucked. Grey was a great clean guy...and a good coach...but before before everybody disses him behind this post as being some kind of Disney character, remember, it was his recruits that got us into the Duke game, our last NCAA appearance. We had Rowe and Jackson down low...we've not had a tandem that good in the low post since Grey recruited those guys. We had Holden at guard as a frosh...but he liked to smoke dope...was suspended after the Duke game and then started for the Univ of Tennessee afterwards.

Yea, he was a heck of a player from Chicago and is now coaching there. He coached Stan Brown.
